Efficient Synthesis of the Deoxysugar Part of Versipelostatin by Direct and Stereoselective Glycosylation and Revision of the Structure of the Trisaccharide Unit
Sweets for my sweet! Efficient synthesis of the deoxysugar part of versipelostatin (VST) was achieved by direct and stereoselective glycosidation of the reduced VST aglycon. Comparison of the synthetic and natural VST products using NMR indicate that VST has a β‐d‐digitoxose‐(1,4)‐α‐l‐oleandrose‐(1,4)‐β‐d‐digitoxose trisaccharide. A biological assay indicates that the deoxyoligosaccharide unit of the

Methyl 2,6-dideoxy-4-O-[2,6-dideoxy-4-O-(3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxy-2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)-beta-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl]-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (25) corresponds to an A-B-C disaccharide subunit of the title antibiotics. It was synthesized from suitably protected monosaccharide and aromatic precursors. The readily available 4,6-O-benzylidene-1,2-O-(R)-propylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranose was converted in six steps into 2-O-acetyl-4-O-benzoyl-3-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide, which was condensed with methyl 3-O-benzyl-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside in the presence of mercury(II) cyanide. Methyl 4-O-(2-O-acetyl-4-O-benzoyl-3-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-benzyl-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside was converted either into methyl 2,6-dideoxy-4-O-(6-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside by removal of the protective groups or into methyl 3-O-benzyl-4-O-(3-O-benzyl-2,6-dideoxy-beta-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl)-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (22) by selective deacetylation, Barton deoxygenation, and Zemplen debenzoylation. Disaccharide 22 was deprotonated with butyllithium and treated with 4-benzyloxy-3,5-dichloro-2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoyl chloride to give the title compound 25 after hydrogenolysis.
